'The Burmese Python' Aung La N Sang has now earned two TKO victories consecutively, both in the first round. The 37-year-old athlete continues to be a crowd-pleaser.

After his most recent stoppage win at ONE Fight Night 6 on Prime Video, Aung La N Sang spoke with the media at the post-fight press conference. 'The Burmese Python' explained how he felt after the win, saying:

"For sure, we always want to put on a show. We always want to make our people proud. So, of course, it means a lot, for sure. It means a lot. I mean, it's hard to describe it. It still feels a little bit unreal right now."

Aung La also made sure to thank the training team that he has surrounded himself with. He continued:

"But I mean, we worked very hard for this one. My training partners, helped me out a lot. George Tokkos from England is here as well. My trainer Henri Hooft is here as well. So we've worked very hard for this, and all week we've been very focused."

Aung La N Sang discusses what's important

'The Burmese Python' defeated MMA veteran Yushin Okami via first-round TKO late last year. This past weekend, he followed it up with another first-round stoppage win against 'Giba' Gilberto Galvao.

The 37-year-old athlete was once a two-division world champion in ONE Championship. However, gold belts are not the only thing that a professional fighter can work towards.

In his post-fight press conference, Aung La N Sang explained:

"Of course, winning the world title is one of the hardest things... All those achievements amount to nothing if you're not a good father, if you're not a good husband, if you're not a good friend, they don't amount to anything if you're always taking and taking. So for me, giving back is very important too."

World championship titles are nice, but for 'The Burmese Python', real success is being a good caretaker for his family and supporter for his friends.
